User's notes

Don't think I've seen this species before. Kookaburra was having a hard time - every time it put its head back to swallow the skink - the skink doubled over making it too big to swallow, and every time the bird looked like it was going to whack the skink against a branch it crawled into its mouth! In the end the Kookaburra dropped it.

Thanks for the interesting description of the sequence of events; which sounds like a successful strategy for the water skink.
